What you focus on in your spouse says as much about you as it does about them.

When a financial burden disappears, the money it frees up can easily be absorbed into new spending. Rob West points to Ezra 7 to encourage us to see that newfound margin as an opportunity to save, give, prepare for the future, or help others—allowing financial freedom to serve a greater purpose.

Inside the Mercy Ship's waiting room sit women from many different  walks of life .

What book of the Bible reminds us that life is short and wisdom means making the most of the time God has given us? Ecclesiastes. This remarkable book refuses to let us avoid one of life’s most uncomfortable realities: our time here is brief.

Your teen is surrounded by voices competing for their attention, but what are they really looking for from you? In this episode, Mark explores how today’s culture of negativity, self-proclaimed experts and social media fantasy can make it difficult for teens to separate information from wisdom and truth from opinion.

Selections from Mark A packed schedule is not the same as a purposeful life. Nobody demonstrates the difference like Jesus, whom Mark portrays as fully engaged, constantly active, and never once rushed. He was a Servant on a mission. Pastor Chuck Swindoll surveys the entire book of Mark, spotlighting its key verse, Mark 10:45, and tracing four movements in the Servant’s life: introduced and tempte...

Listen to Today's Devotion The man near the pool of Bethesda didn’t use the word “stuck,” but he sure could have. For 38 years near the edge of a pool, it was just him, his mat, and his paralyzed body. And since no one would help him, help never came. Crowds of people, despondent, dejected, one after the other, awaited their chance to be placed in the pool where healing waters bubbled up. Can you...

It was the strangest picnic in American history I think. It was July 1861, on a hill in Northern Virginia, overlooking a stream called Bull Run. The Southern states had seceded from the Union, they’d attacked a Union fort in April, and now what the North called “the rebel army” was headed for Washington, D.C. Most people in the capitol thought the Union Army was going to mop up these Southern forc...

When I was young, I loved going to Chick-fil-A, a US-based fast-food restaurant, for waffle fries and sweet tea. When, as an adult, I moved to another state, I was shocked to discover there weren’t any locations for hundreds of miles! On family road trips, we’d even plan our routes to allow for stops at Chick-fil-A, all the while hoping someday one would open closer to home.

There are 2 impulses you need to overcome if you want to follow Christ. Pastor Colin talks about our natural, human impulse for comfort and approval, and how to overcome them.

During the time of the judges in Israel, the people had lost the knowledge of God and His wondrous works. But thankfully, that knowledge would eventually be restored.

It wasn't until 1839 that cell theory was first described by Theodore Schwann in basically its modern form. By 1858, researcher Rudolf Virchow had learned enough about the cell to conclude that every cell must come from a preexisting cell. But Charles Darwin wasn't paying attention. The very next year he published a book, On the Origin of Species, which theorized that the first cell was formed fro...

Anne shares about sin, Heaven, eternity, salvation, and a relationship with Jesus from John 20:17.

This is Ken Ham, author , speaker , and blogger on science and the Bible’s reliability. Diamonds are thought to be one of Earth’s oldest substances. And they are! But they aren’t billions of years old. They were formed in creation rocks so they’re only around six thousand years old. Carbon-14 can only last for tens of thousands of years before it decays away. But researchers have found carbon-14 i...

We often reject what God is doing simply because it doesn’t fit the categories we’ve built for Him.

When 3-year-old Emmanuel   arrived home, the whole neighborhood was waiting.

Theologian Dorothy Sayers once wrote, “Work is not primarily a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do.” That challenges the way many of us think about our jobs. We often see work primarily as a way to earn a paycheck, provide for our families, or make it to retirement. But Scripture gives us a much bigger vision. From the first pages of the Bible to the last, Scripture does not pres...

When teens spiral out — experimenting with drugs, running with the wrong crowd or shutting out family — there’s almost always a deeper hurt they’re trying to escape. On today’s show, we share Mark's interviews with two Heartlight residents who bravely discussed how their choices were just attempts to numb what they felt inside, like abandonment, overwhelming expectations and tragic loss. Both teen...
